Featuring JINGLE BERRY behind-the-scenes clips! "How to with John Wilson" is a documentary comedy series chronicling creator John Wilson's search for answers to life’s most pressing questions. But how does this combination of the video essay and r/hmmm get us to feel these complex emotions? The answer might just lie in the Japanese story structure found in popular anime: Kishoutenketsu! Watch and learn as we see how to write like John Wilson.

How to with John Wilson season 2 is out now on HBO! Watch it!

Storyograph is a story analysis channel that explores the hidden meaning of popular and obscure media by tracking thematic elements through the use of story structure. And if you just fell asleep half-way through that sentence, there’s also a bunch of dumb sound effects, shoddy animation and cheap jokes to keep you entertained through to the end.

If you subscribe, consider ringing that bell because this channel doesn't upload unless there's something real, real good to post!
